Novy Knows Chicago Helping people find more than a house—they’re finding home. Proudly serving Chicago with TeleQuest Realty. I burst onto the real estate scene in 2008.

Honest advice, local knowledge, quick communication, and just enough humor to make the process enjoyable. I understand the challenges and pressures that go into buying or selling a home, and I want to make the process as enjoyable as possible. Through a combination of communication, teaching, and laughter, my goal is to not only help clients, but also support their professional relationships. I came to Chicago from Central Illinois, studied acting at Second City, and have performed improv comedy throughout the city ever since. When I'm not busy helping clients with real estate; I enjoy taking in a Cubs, Bears, Bulls, or Blackhawks game; performing improve; or talking with others about real estate at a local coffee shop. Me, my wife Krissy, and son, Caleb have recently purchased a home in Lincoln Square so I am very passionate about getting involved in the community and making Chicago a better place to live. I couldn't be happier to be working with TeleQuest Realty, with a team who makes clients a priority and strives to build a strong client family.

A transit stop is more than a dot on a map. Walk the route, check the crossing, and listen to the train from the actual block before deciding how it fits your day.

The best comparison is rarely the home with the closest address. Size, condition, layout, parking, and monthly costs all belong in the conversation.

A price reduction tells you the asking price changed. It does not tell you whether the seller’s bottom line changed. Check listing history and comparable sales first.
